10. What Type of X – Jessi
Easily my favorite song by Jessi.
9. Flower Less – DKB
A fairly young group with a lot of promise.
8. Do or Not – Pentagon
This one with the classic kpop boy band feel.
7. Lilac – IU
IU’s first appearance on this list, but not her last.
6. Hwa-byung – MC Mong
An underappreciated artist. The track Blind, also on this album, is great as well.
5. Blood Night – G-reyish
Big thematic shift for this band, but I like it!
4. On the Ground – Rosé
Rosé finally gets her solo debut, and doesn’t disappoint. Best Blackpink(related) song in years.
3. Stalker – 3YE
Their best song to date.
2. My Sea – IU
Whoa! The pipes on full glorious display here!
1. Ah Puh – IU
Such a solid album. Two other tracks, Coin and Flu, just finished out of the Top 10.
Over on twitter, my friend Carolyn Hinds counters with her Top 10 ranking (thread)….
Even though we had a lot of new group debuts, and solo releases, March felt pretty dry, but I've managed to pull together a list I'm happy with. Here's to hoping April and summer gives us better and more original music (EXO come through for me please 🙏🏾)#KPopTop10 #KPop https://t.co/YOyYTuhm91

While I generally enjoy the music, what’s up with the “Beatles’ haircut” on the boys and the “dirty/sexy school girl” look on the girls? I’m ready for some originality.
